Hell yes it is! I still use my elite dv-79avi, until it dies, she is my go to player!
maybe even has more detail than the Mccormack UDP -1
wanna know what chaps my a$$, the money,we spend on a,high quality CDs player, and some (me) have had horrible luck with CD players.
Acurus and-11
onkyo dx-7500
andma few elite dv spinners.
the 12 $ ac delco CD player in my truck,is,from 07-08, dust dirt, exploding v8 cans, slurpees from kids,, moisture, dry, hot as hell in summer w windows rolled up, parked outside up to -10 after about 10-15 below or lower, won’t start, but after all the grit, sand, dust, kids shoving crap in the slot, sometimes won’t even eject, but damn thing always does, it’s a cheap ac delco stock player, after all the years, filth, etc etc, I put in a cd p layer, and it plays just fine,……….yet we spend hundreds, some thousands on a good CD player, and after a year or so, tray slows, laser goes bad, buttons,don’t work properly, skips with no warning, yet this cruddy 12 $ ac delco still works,…..anyone see the problem here?
500-7 thousand on a good player, they always go awry it seems,
maybe I will just buy a remote for the PlayStation 1 and use it when the dv-79 pees up a rope.
sick of the absolute shoddy quality of some home audio, not made the same, that,Acurus and Onkyo were damn good players, but eventually started the mindless skipping, so grabbed the adjustable and pliers, flathead and a hammer, as I had to get my Bathory first press ….the return….f darkness and evil cd out when the drawer jammed closed
